Description Marco Qualizza CLA 2003-03-17 11:51:15 EST
I apologize if someone has already reported this -- I couldn't find a duplicate.

If you create a new patch, and choose "Include new files in patch", Eclipse
(very un-intuitively) ignores new files which exist in new directories.

Please, either fix the wording to indicate that new directories will be ignored,
or (preferably) include the new files in the patch.

Even though this is a CVS limitation, we should be able to support the 
inclusion of new folders, especially considering we were able to do it for new 
files. We should investigate providing this for 2.2

Supports all three diff format, unified, context and standard.  (Of course, 
only the unified format can be consumed by the Apply Patch action)
